News Release -- GIULIANI, GINGRICH TOP GOP ONLINE POLL
-------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Vote.com Voter, An online survey by Vote.com of 29,000 Republican Primary voters showed surprisingly strong support for former House Speaker Newt Gingrich -- who hasn't even entered the race -- and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani. Gingrich topped the survey with 41% of the vote followed by Giuliani with 33%. Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney ran a distant third with 12% and former front runner Senator John McCain lagged in fourth place with only 7%. Commenting on the Vote.com poll, CEO Eileen McGann said, "This survey shows the strong support for Gingrich getting into the race among Republican base voters and demonstrates how little progress McCain has made in appealing to the core of the GOP." The online survey was conducted on February 27, 2007. Poll Results: RUDY GIULIANI = 33% (9,707) MITT ROMNEY = 12% (3,514) CHUCK HEGEL = 1% (373) NEWT GINGRICH = 41% (11,802) JOHN MCCAIN = 7% (1,900) SAM BROWNBACK = 3% (816) MIKE HUCKABEE = 3% (901) Sincerely,Your friends at Vote.comhttp://www.vote.com www.mccainalert.com |
